I'll give you the power
to start things again.
As we while away the hours
making love amongst the flowers.

Now someone do one about coffee, but it can not be the drink.

You gave me an hour
and an evil grin
Neath an ivy bower
us entwined within
As we whiled away the hours
making love amongst the flowers.

You gave me an hour
and an evil grin
Aloft in your tower
together here-in
As we whiled away the hours
Making love amongst the flowers.

I knew a girl whose eyes were blue
Her hair a golden blonde.
She laughed and sang the the whole day through
Through the hills and paths beyond.

I knew a girl whose eyes were green
Her hair a fiery red
She took me places I've never seen
or even dreamt of in my head.

I knew a girl whose eyes were brown
Her hair as black as coal
It's said she never wore a frown
A kind and loving soul.

I knew a girl whose eyes were blue
Her hair a coffee'd shade
And it was her I'd come to wed
My life complete she's made.

Nice, sort of familiar, and for the life of me, I can't see what it has to do with coffee?

Thanks for finishing my poem!

Great! Love it!

You saucy minx you,
I'll take my hour, and my evil grin.
Just you wait, you,
'til I'm back ag'in.

Hehehe.

You definately have a way with the ladies

DixieGal · 05-29-2009, 11:26 AM

Oh my goodness! The both of you are making me blush!

Who will give the next word to write with?

griffonwing · 05-29-2009, 11:57 AM

A theme of Delusion or Madness.

GeoffC · 05-29-2009, 12:21 PM

By the power in these stones, I call thee forth.
By the nine I invoke your mind.

Within thy bones, I seek the sense
to bring forth the power to find…………

An attendant Muse who daily feeds my craft,
known to men of old, by Plato, Socrates and Aristotle.
She draws the words but carefully into every draft.
Always there, but genie-chained, in Enchanted Bottle.
To bring about a marriage, perfection; of word and metre and rhyme,
with each and every word to raft
throughout the endless realm of time.

By the power in these stones, I call thee forth.
By the muses, nine, I invoke your mind.

Within thy bones, I seek the sense
to bring forth the power to find…………

The magic within my bottle.

griffonwing · 05-29-2009, 12:34 PM

Wow.. . Madness, Delusion AND a Bottle! Nice work Geoff!

I find myself always trying to put meter to everything I write. Rhyming free-verse is a bit alien to me, style-wise. I will definatley have to work on it.

Again, very nice work.

GeoffC · 05-29-2009, 12:35 PM

The Earth does daily itch and twitch,
like raft on open water does yaw and pitch.
She shivers always every day,
in each and every other way.
Whilst travelling light along a cosmic way.

Most days she’s gentle, but one or two
like sneezes in a hay-filled meadow
will rock and buck and quake her mantle-shelf
by sending quaking elf
to drag those plates that grind and stray.

A biggish one did occur yer-day,
A seven-point-oner
Down Honduras way.
She’s not forgotten her way
Whilst travelling light along a cosmic way.

DixieGal · 05-29-2009, 12:39 PM

Oh Geoff, both of those are great!

griffonwing · 05-29-2009, 12:41 PM

Another good poem. Have you tried your hand at a villanelle?

I think you should put forth the next request, Geoff.

GeoffC · 05-29-2009, 12:49 PM

I shall do so, but did anyone do coffee?
